The history of this day is a bit obscure. However, reports say it is linked to Black Friday as the term was first associated not with holiday shopping but with a financial crisis. On September 24, 1869, the US gold market collapsed when two ruthless Wall Street financiers, Jay Gould and Jim Fisk, attempted to corner the market by purchasing large amounts of gold.
Even though they planned to inflate gold prices for massive profits, their scheme was exposed eventually triggering a market crash that affected farmers and Wall Street investors.
The more popular explanation for Black Friday, tied to post-Thanksgiving shopping, refers to retailers moving from operating at a loss (represented by red ink in accounting) to making profits (noted in black ink) due to increased sales. While this narrative highlights the surge in consumer spending after Thanksgiving, it is a widely circulated but inaccurate account of the term's origins.
Shopping Reminder Day might not always coincide with Black Friday
As Christmas became more commercialized in the 20th century, the Friday after Thanksgiving became the busiest shopping day in the US, commonly known as Black Friday. Shoppers flock to stores for early holiday deals, though some protest the consumerism by observing Buy Nothing Day.
Shopping Reminder Day likely shares origins with Black Friday but doesn't always coincide with it, sometimes even landing on Thanksgiving. However, since Shopping Reminder Day falls at the same time as Black Friday, buyers can get great deals with exclusive discounts from some of the top brands.
So, the Shopping Reminder Day essentially refreshes your memory that there are 30 days left for Christmas, 31 for Kwanzaa to begin, and 30 until Hanukkah begins.
All you have to do is get together with your friends and begin your shopping spree. Alternatively, you can remind your friend about the time left for Christmas so that they complete their shopping too.
While you shop for yourself and your loved ones, make sure you give something back to society by making a small donation. The Shopping reminder day helps you organize your holiday shopping plans. So, whether you cannot decide what to gift your nephew or which color would suit your grandfather’s cardigan, it’s now time to sit down with a pen and paper and sort it out.
